Our Christmas Eve Eating Marathon!!!

Today is Christmas eve, and I feel like a little kid. I love this time with my family. I can’t wait to see their faces when they open there gifts. I just love giving gifts.

I think if my kids had to choose between a gift, or their sock and ornament they would choose their sock and ornament. Even when they were grown young men they would wake up in the middle of the night, and dump out their sock, and go back to bed until Christmas morning!! Oh such sweet memories.

I am just like the rest of you, and I have been cooking for two days to get things done. I thought I would share with you what we will be munching on throughout the day.

Hi Kathysue, I can see no one will be going hungry in your household!! Some of my favorite foods and you didn't even hit dessert yet....lol!! You know how to roll out the good stuff, thats for sure. I have to try that dip and Ina's mac and cheese, my eldest sons favorite dish! All looks delicoius and that relaxing food fest kind of a day is pure heaven spent with those you love. Enjoy every minute and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wow! The pulled bread and artichoke dip look amazing. I am totally inspired to rush out, get the needed ingredients and get to work. Merry Christmas to you and yours on this Christmas Eve and thanks for the much needed inspiration!

KS you can tell all of the love that went in to each and every one of those 800 courses :) You're family is extremely lucky to have you, but you raised them right so my guess is they already know that! What a magical Christmas you are going to have!!! I'm happy for you and wish you all the best! xoxStacy

Wow, you are so fortunate to have family to share Christmas Eve with. Joe and I will have a very quiet evening, just the 2 of us. It's kinda sad that we have such a small family now. Tomorrow our daughter and all her in-laws will be here. Next year I am coming to YOUR house:):) Have a WONDERFUL Christmas! XO, Pinky

*** OK, here I am, taking a "quick break" from prepping for tomorrow, and I sit here, diet Pepsi in hand, and plan to r*e*l*a*x for a few minutes... I come to my fave spot and look at what YOU'RE doing... NOW I feel like a reeeeal SLOUCH!!!! Eeegads! That's some GOOD LOOKIN' FOOD... and SO MUUUUCH!!! (Well, you DO have the "big boys" & grandkids, etc, so I guess it's a must... BUT, I still feel like I'm "underfeeding" my teeny group of 6!!!!!)...
